Meeting organized by UDES / CDER on the international, Franco-Algerian project for collaboration and university research IFA-2018 (French Institute of Algiers), on the Durability and reliability of photovoltaic panels of various technologies in aggressive environments, the 19 and December 20, 2018 in Bouismail.
As part of the international project, Franco Algerian of collaboration and university research IFA-2018 (French Institute of Algiers), on the Durability and the reliability of photovoltaic panels of various technologies in aggressive environments, a meeting with conferences was organized at UDES on December 19 and 20, 2018.
The Project Managers Mr. FATHI Mohamed, HDR Research Director UDES / EPST-CDER and Ms. Hélène Fremont, HDR Lecturer at the University of Bordeaux, helped organize a meeting between the two French and Algerian teams involved in this collaboration of the year 2018.
Three Conferences were delivered for the day of December 19, 2018 on the theme of the reliability of power electronic components:
Reliability in microelectronics: General Principles and new approaches presented from 10h00 to 12h00 by Dr Hélène Fremont.
Study of the aging of Lithium Batteries: Presented by Prof Vinassa Jean-Michel from 2 p.m. to 3.30 p.m.
Large-scale development of solar energy and reliability issues: Presented from 3.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. by Dr Fathi Mohamed.
For the day of December 20, a visit to the laboratories of the EER Division was scheduled as well as a meeting of the two Algerian and French teams of the IFA-2018 project to define the continuation of the R&D work and the prospects for future collaboration.
In summary, it was highlighted that the photovoltaic solar panels suffer from failures classified chronologically in time as for any electronic component according to 3 phases: early failures characterized by a failure rate decreasing in time, then failure at medium term before the end of the warranty (<15 years), and finally the long-term failure near or after the guaranteed end of life of the module (> 20 years). For each phase we had identified different failure mechanisms.
In addition, discussions between UDES researchers and Professors of the University of Bordeaux were very rich and helped to highlight the need to develop new research areas, particularly towards the reliability of new technologies of storage of renewable energies which are currently the weak link.
